Your feet are your foundation, and when they’re not working well, your knees, hips and even lower back often pay the price.In this episode of The Treatment Table, I sit down with experienced podiatrist Sabina to unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of pain: your foot mechanics.We break down:What plantar fasciitis actually is (and why it hurts most in the morning)The biggest mistake people make when trying to fix heel painFlexible vs rigid feet and how that changes the shoes you should wearBarefoot shoes and running trends: smart progression or social media hype?When orthotics are helpful and when they’re unnecessaryHow foot positioning can quietly overload your knees over timeIf you’ve ever increased your step count on holiday and paid for it… If you’ve bought insoles after a quick in-store scan… Or if you’ve been treating knee pain without looking at your feet…This episode will change the way you think about your body from the ground up.We finish with a simple, practical strategy you can implement immediately to improve blood flow, reduce irritation and support long-term foot health.Because sometimes the real problem isn’t where the pain is, it’s where it starts.Episode Links: You can find Sabrina from Unisoles at: https://www.unisoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/uni_soles/🎧 Episode Resources & LinksPodcast Sponsor: Active Movement Studiohttps://activemovement.com.auWatch the exercises from this episode:https://www.instagram.com/treatmenttablepodcast/Podcast Producer Nellie: https://www.instagram.com/producer_nellie/Royalty-Free Music: Kontraa Studio | UKA Music.
